Good Morning POU!
In addition to the films featured this week, John Singleton also directed action films such as Shaft(2000), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), and Four Brothers (2005). However one of his most memorable roles as director, has to be for the legendary, iconic music video Remember The Time.
Directed by Singleton and choreographed by Fatima Robinson, the video was an elaborate production and became one of Jackson’s longest videos at over nine minutes. It was set in ancient Egypt and featured groundbreaking visual effects and appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, The Pharcyde, Magic Johnson, Tom “Tiny” Lister, Jr. and Wylie Draper, who portrayed Jackson as an adult in the made-for-TV movie The Jacksons: An American Dream and died shortly of leukemia after appearing in this video. The video also featured Michael’s first on-screen kiss.
